Jangan ragu

Demi aku
katakanlah
Dengan begitu dunia akan tau
Bahwa aku tak menipu
Dengan semua kisah cintaku
Yang kutanamkan di hatimu
Yg selalu menghias hatiku
Kumohon jangan ragu
Karena cinta itu tak semu
Dari bayang kabut permainan hatiku
Yang tulus selalu kupersembahkan padamu...

On Freedom

Kahlil Gibran

At the city gate and by your fireside I have seen you prostrate yourself and worship your own freedom,
Even as slaves humble themselves before a tyrant and praise him though he slays them.
Ay, in the grove of the temple and in the shadow of the citadel I have seen the freest among you wear their freedom as a yoke and a handcuff.
And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free when even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a harness to you, and when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal and a fulfilment.


You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief,
But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.


And how shall you rise beyond your days and nights unless you break the chains which you at the dawn of your understanding have fastened around your noon hour?
In truth that which you call freedom is the strongest of these chains, though its links glitter in the sun and dazzle your eyes.


And what is it but fragments of your own self you would discard that you may become free?
If it is an unjust law you would abolish, that law was written with your own hand upon your own forehead.
You cannot erase it by burning your law books nor by washing the foreheads of your judges, though you pour the sea upon them.
And if it is a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
For how can a tyrant rule the free and the proud, but for a tyranny in their own freedom and a shame in their own pride?
And if it is a care you would cast off, that care has been chosen by you rather than imposed upon you.
And if it is a fear you would dispel, the seat of that fear is in your heart and not in the hand of the feared.


Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.
These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling.
And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another light.
And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.

On Work
Kahlil Gibran

You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons,
and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music.
Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?

Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune.
But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life,
And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret.

But if you in your pain call birth an affliction and the support of the flesh a curse written upon your brow, then I answer that naught but the sweat of your brow shall wash away that which is written.

You have been told also that life is darkness, and in your weariness you echo what was said by the weary.
And I say that life is indeed darkness save when there is urge,
And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge,
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work,
And all work is empty save when there is love;
And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.

And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart,
even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
It is to build a house with affection,
even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house.
It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy,
even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.
It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit,
And to know that all the blessed dead
are standing about you and watching.

Often have I heard you say, as if speaking in sleep, "He who works in marble, and finds the shape of his own soul in the stone, is nobler than he who ploughs the soil.
And he who seizes the rainbow to lay it on a cloth in the likeness of man, is more than he who makes the sandals for our feet."
But I say, not in sleep but in the overwakefulness of noontide, that the wind speaks not more sweetly to the giant oaks than to the least of all the blades of grass;
And he alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.

Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

On Children
Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

KHALIL GIBRAN

Kenapa kita menutup mata ketika kita tidur?
Ketika kita menangis?
Ketika kita membayangkan?
Itu karena hal terindah di dunia TIDAK TERLIHAT
Ketika kita menemukan seseorang yangkeunikannya SEJALAN dengan kita
kita bergabung dengannya dan jatuh kedalam suatu keanehan serupa yang
dinamakan CINTA

Ada hal-hal yang tidak ingin kita lepaskan
Orang-orang yang tidak ingin kita tinggalkan
Tapi ingatlah melepaskan BUKAN akhir dari dunia
Melainkan awal suatu kehidupan baru

Kebahagiaan ada untuk mereka yang menangis,mereka yang tersakiti,
mereka yang telah mencari dan mereka yang telah mencoba
Karena MEREKA-lah yang bisa menghargai betapa pentingnya orang yang telah
menyentuh kehidupan mereka

CINTA yang AGUNG?
Adalah ketika kamu menitikkan air mata dan MASIH peduli terhadapnya
Adalah ketika dia tidak mampedulikanmu dan kamu MASIH menunggunya dengan setia
Adalah ketika dia mulai mencintai orang lain dan kamu MASIH bisa tersenyum
sembari berkata “Aku turut berbahagia untukmu”

Apabila cinta tidak berhasil BEBASKAN dirimu
Biarkan hatimu kembali melebarkan sayapnya dan terbang ke alam bebas LAGI
Ingatlah bahwa kamu mungkin menemukan CINTA dan kehilangannya
Tapi ketika cinta itu mati kamu TIDAK perlu
mati bersamanya

Orang terkuat BUKAN mereka yang selalu menang MELAINKAN
mereka yang tetap tegar ketika mereka jatuh

Entah bagaimana dalam perjalanan kehidupan,
kita belajar tentang diri kita sendiri
dan menyadari bahwa penyesalan tidak seharusnya ada

penyesalan HANYALAH penghargaan abadi atas pilihan-pilihan kehidupan yang telah kita
buat sendiri

TEMAN SEJATI
adalah mereka yang mengerti ketika kamu berkata “Aku lupa..”
Menunggu selamanya ketika kamu berkata “Tunggu sebentar”.
Tetap tinggal ketika kamu berkata “Tinggalkan aku sendiri”.
Membuka pintu meski kamu BELUM mengetuk dan berkata “Bolehkah saya masuk?”

MENCINTAI
BUKANLAH bagaimana kamu melupakan melainkan bagaimana kamu MEMAAFKAN
BUKANLAH bagaimana kamu mendengarkan melainkan bagaimana kamu MENGERTI
BUKANLAH apa yang kamu lihat melainkan apa yang kamu RASAKAN
BUKANLAH bagaimana kamu melepaskan melainkan bagaimana kamu BERTAHAN

Lebih berbahaya mencucurkan air mata
dalam hati dibandingkan menangis tersedu-sedu
Air mata yang keluar dapat dihapus
Sementara air mata yang tersembunyi menggoreskan luka yang tidak akan pernah hilang

Dalam urusan cinta, kita SANGAT JARANG menang
Tapi ketika CINTA itu TULUS,
meskipun kalah, kamu TETAP MENANG
hanya karena kamu berbahagia dapat mencintai seseorang
LEBIH dari kamu mencintai dirimu sendiri
Akan tiba saatnya dimana kamu harus berhenti mencintai seseorang
BUKAN karena orang itu berhenti mencintai kita,
MELAINKAN karena kita menyadari bahwa dia akan lebih berbahagia
apabila kita melepaskannya

Apabila kamu benar-benar mencintai seseorang,
jangan lepaskan dia
Jangan percaya bahwa melepaskan selalu berarti kamu benar-benar mencintai

MELAINKAN BERJUANGLAH demi cintamu
Itulah CINTA SEJATI

Lebih baik menunggu orang yang kamu inginkan
DARIPADA berjalan bersama orang “yang tersedia”

Kadang kala orang yang kamu cintai adalah orang yang PALING menyakiti hatimu,
dan kadang kala teman yang menangis bersamamu adalah
CINTA YANG TIDAK KAMU SADARI KBERADAANNYA

***
Cinta adalah sebuah lingkaran setan yang dipenuhi oleh malaikat,
Cinta adalah sebuah ketidak sengajaan yang diciptakan semesta,
Cinta adalah sesuatu yang akan kau dapatkan ketika kamu layak mendapatkannya,
Berjuang demi cinta bukan berarti mencari dan mengemis cinta
Ingat bahwasanya diluar sana masih banyak yang akan memberimu cinta
tanpa harus kau minta

Cinta selalu tak akan pernah bisa diungkapkan dengan apapun yang sesuai dengan kehendak kita karena bahasa cinta adalah bahasa yang abstrak,
bahasa yang hanya akan bisa dimengerti oleh mereka yang peka dan mengenal apa itu cinta

2. Pergilah ke tempat-tempat menyenangkan atau datangi orang-orang yang bersedia dijadikan tempat curhat Anda.

3. Bila masih ada yang mengganjal di hati, keluarkan unek-unek dengan melakukan monolog mental di depan cermin atau menuliskannya di buku harian.

4. Menangislah bila perlu, atau menjerit di tempat sunyi. Bisa juga sekadar mengepalkan tinju kuat-kuat, lalu memukulkannya ke udara kosong.

5. Jika panas di hati mulai sedikit mereda, coba ingat-ingat kebaikan atau kelebihan orang yang telah menyakiti hati Anda. Seburuk apa pun manusia, pasti ada kebaikannya.
